DISCLOSURE AND SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION
Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve will not disclose to or share your personal information with any unaffiliated third party except as follows:
- Where necessary in connection with services provided by third parties (i) who provide us with a wide range of office, administrative, information technology, production, payment, or business management services, and (ii) who are required to comply with this policy;
- Where you voluntarily provide information in response to an advertisement from a third party;
- Where your consent has been provided, with a third party such as an academic institution, employer, business, or other entity which has provided you with access to a product or service through an integration or access code, information may be shared regarding your engagement with the service or product, results of assessments taken and other information you input into the product or service;
- Where FPBR is required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities and government agencies, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; to comply with a subpoena or other legal process; and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the rights, property or safety of our services, users, or others; and
- Where all or substantially all of the business or assets of FPBR relating to our services are sold, assigned, or transferred to another entity.
If necessary in connection with providing publishing services on behalf of third parties, such as institutions and societies, FPBR may disclose navigational and transactional information in the form of anonymous, aggregate usage statistics and demographics information that does not reveal your identity or personal information.
Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve takes precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. credit card information), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
FPBR also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to build users’ trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personal information.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. We train our employees about the importance of maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of the user’s personal information under our control.
Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve’s operations are located primarily in the United States. If you provide information to us, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) and sent to the United States. (The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1, 2016. This framework protects the fundamental rights of anyone in the EU whose personal data is transferred to the United States for commercial purposes. It allows the free transfer of data to companies that are certified in the US under the Privacy Shield.) By providing personal information to us, you are consenting to its storage and use as described in this Policy.
You should be aware that identifiable personal information — such as your name or e-mail address — that you voluntarily disclose and that is accessible to other users (e.g. on social media, forums, bulletin boards, or in chat areas) could be collected and disclosed by others. FPBR cannot take any responsibility for such collection and disclosure.
As is true of most websites, FPBR gathers certain information automatically. This information may include IP addresses, browser types, Internet service providers (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating systems, date/time stamps, and/or clickstream data to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer the site.
FPBR and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Changing your cookie settings, including deletion and disabling them, may mean that some of the functions on our website may not operate correctly or may limit your use of certain features, functions, or areas on our website.
You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. The privacy settings in your browser will enable you to customize your cookie settings, including deletion and disabling them. Typically, you will find the controls under the browser’s ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu. The exact level of customization will depend on your browser.
